The image features an exterior medium shot of Terl (John Travolta), the seductive and powerful leader of the Psychols, a greedy and manipulative race out to enslave humanity, as he points a weapon at a character off-camera. The film's handsome long-haired young hero, Jonnie Goodboy Tyler (Barry Pepper), watches with alarm at the right as another human (Tim Post) watches. This lobby card was inscribed in black ballpoint pen by the film's director, Roger Christian, inside the left background area (Best wishes - Brad & - thank you - Roger Christian).
